Bello is arraigned for the alleged murder of a member of the transporter’s union, Femi Ajayi, in Igogo Ekiti, Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
Inspector Oriyomi Akinwale, who confirmed the incident told the court that the defendant committed the offence on September 25, 2019, over a N100 daily levy.

“In the process, it resulted in a crisis and one of the members deflated his vehicle tyre, which angered him and he beat the deceased with a deadly charm. The deceased died in the process of being rushed to the hospital.”
The plea of the defendant was however not taken.
